| Borderline Personality Disorder |
[10 May 2007|01:13am] |
I've been reading up on personality disorders, driven by the belief that I have at least one, with the way I'm acting. Once I read the various disorders, however, I came to the conclusion that everyone must have at least a tiny percent of them with a personality disorder. I even seemed to have a symptom or two of each (which I'm sure many people also have, even if it occurs very rarely). So I let go for a while, thinking that I'm just acting normal.
These past few days, however, things have been really shitty for me (at least, I feel they are). I read up again on personality disorders (partly 'cause I'm interested, partly 'cause I want to know if I really have one), and found a disorder that is said to be quite common (borderline). I have the majority of its symptoms (I think), but I'm not exactly sure if I seriously have it, or if I'm just deluding myself, like I want an explanation for SIing...
How exactly do you find out? Is it really necessary to go to a professional in psychology (or psychiatry)?
Hah. Now I feel a little paranoid.
